Bottle Shock

Based on a true story of love, victory, and fermentation

A charming, feel-good underdog story about California winemakers challenging French wine snobbery, grounded in warmth, humor, and the triumph of authenticity over pretension.

Paris-based wine expert Steven Spurrier heads to California in search of cheap wine that he can use for a blind taste test in the French capital. Stumbling upon the Napa Valley, the stuck-up Englishman is shocked to discover a winery turning out top-notch chardonnay. Determined to make a name for himself, he sets about getting the booze back to Paris.
